| LOTP Sporecast | List of members | (New banner coming soon-ish!)
The Lords of the Past (or LOTP) is a group of people who like and create prehistoric creatures. We accept members from creators of the fierce carnivorous dinosaurs, to makers of gentle mammoths. We can share our newest prehistoric creations with each other and I will host some group contests, make a Lords of the Past sporecast and we can talk about anything prehistoric.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
To join, post a few of your prehistoric creations and I will judge whether or not they are good enough to join (note: I won’t be too hard though ). Remember: we are looking for real animals, not just a creature with the shortensnout mouth and the raptorclaws feet named ‘REX’.

Requirements: 1. At least one prehistoric creation.
2. An interest in prehistory

If you are accepted, you will be added to the list of members and you will be allowed to enter the contests when they are held.

New Banner Thats right folks, the LOTP is getting a new banner to go along with its slightly new face. Polls were held both here and on the forum, for you, dear members, to help us decide what prehistoric animals you would like to see featured on the banner. In the end, you have spoken, and chosen our winners as Tyrannosaurus, Microraptor, and Dilophosaurus! Stay tuned in the coming weeks for the new banner!

Ranks are used to determine the status of each other while talking on the forums. It should be noted, if you want to use points, you must keep track of them yourself. There are a few ways to rank up:

Method 1: Making prehistoric creatures gives you points. 1 creatures = 5 points.Method 2: Recruiting someone gives you 20 points.(It only counts if I accept the person you recruited.)
Method 3: Winning a contest gives you 60 points for 1stMethod 4: A new idea for events, threads and contests gives you 5 points. (Starting the thread yourself gives you another 15 points, but only if it is done right. Not just a one sentence OP briefly describing the topic.)

If you have another idea for ways to get points than tell me and I will consider it ;D

The ranks:

Rank 1: Egg
(Default rank, this is where you start when you first join.)

Rank 2: Anomalocaris
(Reached after you get 25 points)

Rank 3: Hynerpeton
(Reached after you get 50 points)

Rank 4: Dimetrodon
(Reached after you get 100 points)

Rank 5: Gorgonopsid
(Reached after you get 200 points.)

Rank 6: Allosaurus
(Reached after you get 300 points.)

Rank 7: Tyrannosaurus
(Reached after you get 400 points.)

Rank 8: Gastornis
(Reached after you get 500 points.)

Rank 9: Smilodon
(Reached after you get 600 points.)

Rank 10: Human

rank 1337:image coming soon. (Reached if I hire you to do a task for the LotP.)

rank ∞: LOTP Master

So....anyone else having problems with sporecasts not downloading completely? I can't get Prehistoria to download more than 300, and even my 6-creation sporecast only has downloaded 4. I haven't gone over the 4GB limit-- I'm still at 1.29GB...

Sorry to hear you guys got hit by the glitch. But on a side note, you should make it Phoeinx, because a definition of Phoenix is "Someone or something that has risen from a horrible accident.(or something along those lines)"

Ah, but a phoenix is mythology, not prehistory. I think the term genesis also works appropriately as well, as it can be translated to rebirth, to be born, etc.
